On Friday night, January 30, 2026, during an incredibly stressful situation involving my father's…read moreskilled nursing facility, the ER team at UCLA Medical Center in Orange stepped up in a way I will never forget. It was a busy Friday night, yet the staff treated my father with urgency, dignity, and genuine compassion. What could have been a chaotic and impersonal experience instead felt human and attentive. After we arrived, the ER team worked tirelessly -- not just medically, but administratively -- coordinating with insurance, social workers, and case management. When my father became stuck in the ER due to complications with his prior facility refusing readmission, the UCLA team did not give up on him. They continued advocating, communicating, and ultimately helped secure placement in a better facility after nearly a week in limbo. That level of follow-through meant everything to our family. I especially want to recognize Nurse Claire in the ER. Her kindness and humanity were extraordinary. She gave my father blankets, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered me blankets, food, and water during a long and emotional night. She cleaned my father up with such care and dignity. After 10 hours of uncertainty, she brought calm, reassurance, and genuine bedside compassion that I will never forget. I also want to thank Dr. Carson Dangberg for advocating for my father during a very unfortunate situation. His professionalism and willingness to step in made a real difference. In one of the hardest moments for our family, this ER team reminded us that healthcare can still be compassionate and patient-centered. We are deeply grateful.

**Labor and Delivery Review**…read more We delivered our baby girl on 12/3/2025 at 2:56 pm and this review is for the entire labor and delivery staff. My husband and I had such a great experience, especially from our awesome nurse Ally. From the very beginning she made me feel like I was in safe hands with my delivery and the plan, which couldn't have gone better. Ally made our last delivery such a great experience that we already miss her. Our delivery doctor was also so amazing Dr. Gelareh R. Nikpour-Heravi she was very gentle and had very good bed side manners. We are over the moon and so thankful for all the staff for helping us bring our last little blessing into this world. So thankful!

I was brought into the ED 9/2025 and while waiting for a CT scan a nurse took off my earrings and…read morenecklace ( which was an heirloom from my mother) and they just sent me a letter stating that they are not responsible for it. I had my eyes close the enitire time when the nurse took it off of me before taking me to CT scan so i wasnt able to see who it was. None of the nurses introduced themselves to me and they were talking about their personal lives while I had my eyes closed on a gurney in the hallway. The care was mediocre, the nurses were unprofessional and no accountability in the hospitals part for the lost items which was not my fault but taken off by their own nurse. Don't go to this hospital/ED if you can help it. This place here has absolutely no accountability for their errors and will just send you a letter basically stating to eat it because we won't do anything about it. Hope this will be helpful so you won't have to eat it when you lose something precious and priceless while absolutely receiving mediocre care from people who don't care at all. I was transferred to Kaiser Permanente after and the care I received there was excellent and you can feel that the staff actually gives a damn about you as a patient.

I even cried there because I was going through so much physical pain due to a freak accident injury, so they were very kind to me. Made me comfortable since I was scared and I went alone during my visit. I was quite scared and didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt very taken care of.

I…read morenoticed several negative reviews regarding the ownership here, but based on my recent life-saving experience, the medical staff, doctors, and nurses deserve nothing but praise. Like any major acquisition, there are growing pains, but the care at the bedside remains excellent. I arrived at the ER in a way I never thought possible. After a 17-hour fast and a severe allergic reaction to medication, my body shut down and I lost consciousness while driving on the freeway. Because my Tesla had Full Self-Driving engaged, the car's monitoring system detected I was unresponsive, slowed down, and safely pulled over to the shoulder--preventing a high-speed catastrophe. My wife was able to alert emergency services via Life360, and when they reached me, I was stabilized enough to stay in the vehicle as it autonomously completed the trip to the hospital. From the moment I "arrived" at the ER and walked in, I was in great hands. I was admitted overnight due to dangerously high troponin levels. Throughout the stay, the nurses and doctors checked on me frequently, kept me comfortable, and monitored my blood work until my levels returned to a safe range. I was discharged within 24 hours feeling alive and well. Huge thanks to the ER staff for their professionalism and care, to my wife for her quick thinking, and to the engineers at Tesla for building technology that literally saves lives when the driver cannot. If you find yourself in an emergency, know that the team here will take great care of you.

But the on call treating Dr. John Ziomek was rude and condescending. My imaging came back abnormal, but the Dr. was super dismissive. The Dr. was on the fence about admitting me to the hospital or releasing me with my symptoms left unresolved. He chose the latter. It's an ER room - you would think they could have done more for a paying patient. I was told I needed to see my primary doctor. Dr. Ziomeks parting words to me were "I can't help you, if you can even be helped at all". Who says that to a patient before releasing them to leave? After a quick morphine shot which did nothing to relieve my pain I was bandaged up and sent on my way. Avoid this place like a plague if you can.

I had blood pressure of 224/94, and I called 911 because of chest pain and feeling very tired. I have a history of cardiac issues and had already had a heart attack 20 years ago. I was concerned that I might be having another heart attack, so I went to Garden Grove medical center. I never saw a doctor once admitted to my room! Plenty of "staff" but no doctor! They ran some tests but never told me that they do not have access to the equipment needed to perform cardiac catheterization to look at possible damage to my heart or even say for sure if I had already had a heart attack. However, they knew my troponin was through the roof!! They let me lay in that hospital for 3 days without a way to help me. While there, I shared a room with another patient who required dialysis. They gave that patient dialysis bedside, and they had a tube on the floor that was letting blood waste go down the drain into the shower we both shared. This patient next to me was terribly ill and was coughing non-stop and then on the 3rd day suddenly a paper appeared on the wall, and my family was now required to wear a gown, mask and gloves even though this was never mentioned before and I asked to be moved but they refused! I still don't know what he had but obviously it was very contagious and could have complicated my condition even further. My fiancé came and did basically a jail break because I was leaving AMA- Against medical advice. They would not let me leave! It took 3 hours for this staff member to tell us that she could not find a place with a bed for me anywhere near by and that I needed to stay there. We fought back and said no way! I signed their documents to leave AMA, and we were able to go to my brother's house and call 911 from there. I was taken to Whittier PIH and there they have an outstanding cardiac care unit. It was determined within an hour of my arrival at Whittier PIH that I had one main artery in my heart that was 99% blocked and two others that were at 50%. Garden Grove Medical Center couldn't tell me that after 3 days!!!! If I would have laid in that bed for any more time and I would have lost my life. Thankfully we got out of there and to a place where I could get the care I needed. It scares me for myself and for others that might experience something similar to this. These people are only too happy to bill our insurance and take our money, but they don't want to care for us! I still can't believe they made us wait 3 hours when we wanted to leave to see if they could locate a bed somewhere else which didn't happen! A waste of time and it could have been the end of my life!!!!! Please don't go to this hospital!! You will regret it!

The doctors, nurses, office staff, social workers, case managers and receptionists are all dishonest and do not deserve to be trusted with your health issues. Please stay away from this nightmare of a wannabe hospital. Go someplace else! There are many other local hospitals to choose from. I can't believe this place is even still open. It should be shut down! Do they film horror movies here? Follow-up to hospital response: In response to your reply on Yelp.... It is impossible to get anyone to address the problem at your facility. They try to tell me that my husband with dementia isn't even there and don't know his location which is an outright lie! Your staff just has no compassion and should not be in the medical field at all. I am losing my husband to dementia. The staff really has no clue how difficult it is trying to care for someone you love, while watching them as they lose their cognitive abilities. I am all alone with no family to help out and your staff is fighting against me every step of the way. They are so unprofessional, refuse to communicate with me. They just want to deny and argue and now they think it is okay to deny him husband any contact with people he knows and is familiar with when he is already having trouble with confusion and remembering things. This is harmful and NOT helpful to his well being or what is left of it. The staff seriously needs training about HIPPA. HIPPA does not prevent me from speaking with my own husband. They are trying to use that to justify their actions. After multiple call attempts trying to speak with someone and being hung up on I finally went down to speak with your staff directly and was met at the door by two very nasty, hostile security guards with attitudes. The police are helpless. Your staff changed his medications without speaking with me, or his own PCP or neurologist who has been following him closely and treating him for over 5 years. This change of medications has caused his condition to worsen and no one at your facility will even listen. They all think they know better than his own doctors. He has been very combative and aggressive after being in your hospital for 3 weeks and was taken back there against my wishes. Your staff's inhumane treatment of using soft restraints on him is not recommended for dementia/Alzheimer patients. I love my husband very much and have so little time left to spend with him. Your staff is robbing us of that time together. They have lied to me, been very unkind, uncooperative and do not communicate at all. I suspect they are all doing this out of retallation for reporting possible insurance fraud to the insurance company. Your own weekend ER doctor admitted directly to me that some of the tests your staff performs are not necessary because the patient has symtoms but rather are routinely done in order to "get the insurance to cover the confinement". Hopefully you will address these issues as you indicate in your Yelp response to me. You have been holding my husband for nearly a week without any justification. This has caused his long term treament to be delayed twice now because he was locked up in your "Frankenstein Lab". He doesn't have enough life left to recover from the games your staff his playing with him. Someday they will have to answer to God for their unethical treatment to my husband.
